⚠️ Important Note: This is a Reverse Blade Sword (Sakabato) — an homage to Rurouni Kenshin. The blade is blunt on the cutting edge side. Please do not purchase if you are expecting a standard katana.
Before you choose this sword
Rurouni Kenshin and Battousai searches often compare multiple Sakabato-style products, so photos matter more than the title.
What to check
Compare blade orientation, saya color, handle wrap, product video or photos, edge option, and whether this is the exact version you want.
